[adegenet-forum] $li score in sPCA

[Ting Pu]

Hi all,

I was just wondering in sPCA, after I have selected the first positive principal component (which represents global structures), how should I interpret the positiveness and negativeness of the $li (entity scores)? Does a high positive $li mean its spatial correlation is stronger than a negative li? Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you for your time,

Ting
